Canada would never have been fully explored without the help of the canoe. It’s a canadian icon, a hobby, a sport, and one of the most serene ways to travel. This ~30min documentary, published by Travel Ontario Canada, encapsulates the significance of this amazing tool. Dramatic visuals, superb audio. Kick back and get inspired to see Canada by canoe!

I stumbled upon this amazing Youtube video over at Road Stories. Be sure to check Glenn & Judy’s blog, they cover some amazing Canadian topics and are some of the nicest folks around. Salt of the earth types with a clear passion for Canadiana.

Plan your own canoe adventure

If you’re interested in experiencing your own canoe adventure in Canada, consider traveling north of Toronto to Algonquin Park. It’s a true mecca of canoe-culture and features some of the most beautiful scenery. While summer will provide better weather, if you can handle more chilly mornings and evenings, the fall colours in Algonquin will completely blow you away!
